Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for collecting data that relate addresses to map-referenced locations. A fleet of delivery trucks delivers items to locations throughout a geographic region. Each item to be delivered includes a tracking code. An electronic code reader device is used to record the tracking code of an item when the item is being delivered. A position determining device, such as a GPS unit, is used to determine a geographic position associated with the delivery of each item. Data indicating the tracking code of an item and the corresponding geographic position associated with the delivery are stored. Then, using data that indicate an address associated with each tracking code, each address is associated with a geographic position. This information is used to revise a geographic database, e.g., to relate addresses to map-referenced locations.

Abstract: A method of protecting dyes printed on print media against ozonolysis is
provided. The method comprises: (a) providing a first reaction product comprising the
reaction of a phenylenediamine or derivative thereof (an anti-ozonant) with a silica or
silicate; and (b) reacting the first reaction product in the presence of a water-free solvent
with silica groups on the print media to form a second reaction product. Also provided
is the reaction product resulting from the reaction of (1) the anti-ozonant-silica (or
silicate) and (2) silica groups on a substrate. The anti-ozonant-silica (or silicate) is
covalently attached to the particles of silica in the media and cannot escape or evaporate
away. The use of phenylenediamines as anti-ozonants solves the problem of the fading
of dyes on porous media by ozone pollution.
